What does it mean to have the spirit of Aloha? Author and poet Bradajo struggled with this question after the terrible events of September 11, 2001. This book of poetry is the result. It adds to the growing legacy of pidgin poetry and literature that is continuing to realize pidgin s expressive and deeply meaningful potential. With this book, Bradajo helps us to see and feel this potential for ourselves. His calligraphy visually depicts the flowing and vibrant nature of pidgin. Interlaced with the words are pictures that become an integral part to the reading experience.A collection of Bradajo s poetry is included on a compact disk in the back of the book. Listening to his deeply moving voice allows one to hear the emotion and lyricism of Hawai i s pidgin.
